The frame supports and tensions the canvas on which the artist paints.
A frame is a framework . Depending on the context, the term can refer to different types of structures .
canvas frame
A painting canvas stretcher is a wooden or metal structure designed to stretch and support a canvas (usually cotton or linen) on which an artist can paint with oil, acrylic, or other materials. This type of stretcher is very common in the art world and allows you to work on a rigid and taut surface, which facilitates the painting process and ensures that the canvas does not warp or wrinkle.
They are usually composed of wooden slats or metal bars that form a rectangular or square frame . The ends of the slats are joined with corner joints, allowing the structure to be easily assembled and dismantled. Some racks come pre-assembled, while others may require assembly.
To prepare the stretcher, the canvas is placed on it and stretched evenly. The edges of the canvas are wrapped around the back slats and secured in place with staples or nails. The goal is to achieve a smooth, wrinkle-free surface for painting. Canvas stretchers come in a wide variety of sizes and formats. The most common are rectangular and square, but there are also others in the shape of ovals and circles.
The quality of the frame and canvas is important to ensure that the artist's work lasts. Those made of good wood are preferable, as they are less likely to warp over time. As for canvas, there are different levels of quality, with cotton and linen being preferable to synthetic ones. Once the painting is finished, the stretcher can also be framed to protect and enhance the work, in a wide variety of styles and materials.
body support
In a vehicle, the frame is the support that supports the body (that is, the part that covers the engine and many other mechanical components and where the passengers are located). In today's cars the frame and body are usually integrated.
It can be stated that a frame is made up of transverse and longitudinal beams on which the mechanical devices of the means of transport are installed. The frame is integrated into the chassis .
Computer equipment accommodation
In the field of technology , a rack, cabinet , cabin or rack is a support that allows the accommodation of computer equipment . These structures have a standard size of 19 inches and are usually used in data processing centers for the installation of servers .
theater set
In the theater field, the backstage integrates the set , being located on the sides of the stage. What happens “behind the scenes” takes place out of sight of the spectators.
By extension, the expression “behind the scenes” is used as an adverbial phrase regarding what is done in a reserved manner and without transcending it . For example: “Both leaders established an agreement behind the scenes,” “It is impossible to know what happens behind the scenes.”
The rack is located on the sides of the stage.
The stage is an essential part of any theater or stage where performances and performances take place. It is the area in which the actors perform their performances and where the scenic and decorative elements are placed to give life to the work. Their shape and size can vary depending on the theater and type of production: some are extensive and versatile, while others are small and intimate.
The configuration of the frame can be adapted according to the needs of the production, with the possibility of adding decorations and scenery to create different environments. There we also find the curtain , whose function is to hide the stage before the performance begins and during scene changes. The mouth curtain is located just in front of the stage and is raised at the beginning of the performance, while the background curtain is placed at the back of the stage to create a specific atmosphere .
